#1. No fights or personal insults.
#2. No bait or troll comments with the intention of being annoying or starting serious heated discussions, if i notice it's a continuous behavior, i will warn the user or delete the comment.
#3. No toxic attitude towards series, no one is obligated to enjoy any series and it's totally fine to criticize what you don't like, just avoid posting gratuitous hateful or toxic comments about X or Y series, if i notice this behavior, comments will be deleted.
#4. Don't bring politics or off-topic stuff to the thread, this is about Weekly Shonen Jump magazine and mangas, so keep any conversation about topics that aren't related about anime & manga outside the thread.
#5. Don't post news about series from other magazine or publishers in the WSJ thread, post in the series own thread, but it's fine if you're mentioning other series or magazine to express a opinion or reflection about Shonen Jump.
#6. Any tweet, specially japanese, about news, update or some interesting thing about the magazine or series has to come with a text of what that tweet means and also be on topic, if not it's going to be either deleted or i will edit the post.
#7. Refrain from self advertising or advertising Youtubers videos in the comments.
#8. Constant fanart posts just for the sake of praising a favorite series is prohibited, this rule doesn't apply for official art by Jump artists posted on social media, they're fine to post.
#9. Don't discuss or hype chapter spoilers before Sunday release, only comment if is related to a series surviving status and do it only inside the spoiler tag.
#10. Regarding rule #9, an exception will be made for when we have new series, in this case, spoilers will be allowed only for the first 3 chapters of a new series for the users who are interested in knowing informations and details about the new series, these spoilers will obviously be kept under tags to protect anyone that doesn't want to be spoiled, so don't worry about it.
~ Shinuki

I hope everyone reads the rules and use it as a guide to behave well in the thread, thanks! :kkthumbs

Most of the complaints about Nue come from people who don't read Nue, they checked out the first chapter or two and didn't bother following it.

Nue has been mainly a serious battle shounen for a good while.

Which is so fucking dumb given Nue isn't even close to ecchi. It's so tame on a fanservice level. These kids should give Kurotsuki no Yaegernaght a try if they want to see what Nue would be like if it actually had ecchi.
Or just open any Kanan-sama or Yowayowa Sensei chapter, specially the last one, the level of ecchi in Yowayowa makes To Love-ru & Yuuna-san looks like kids manga lol I'm kinda blown away with what Weekly Shonen Magazine authors are getting away with right now in a mainstream shounen mag.

WSM's core demographic has very clearly trended older over time, even compared to WSJ.

There's stuff you see in WSM that Weekly Young Jump wouldn't allow. Especially on the romance side, they're all so chaste in Young Jump.

Yumene Connect worth mentioning too. Especially given it's literally just To Love Ru in WSM.
WSM is something else rn lol.
Hell, WSM almost seems to have more extreme titles than WYM has haha.
Although WYM has the best lineup out of all the weekly mags rn imo.

WSM seems to be very laxed in mentioning sexual intercouse. Characters all talk about it as if it's a natural thing in the world
Kids in WSJ seem to pop after the couple kissed while holding hands

You can pretty much do anything on Weekly Young Jump, it's a seinen magazine, there are series that had straight up sex or rape scenes, also showing pubic hair on women down there, is just that most authors don't do it anyway, specially today, i feel like is just the vibe that the editorial built for the magazine in the last few years, Grand Jump became more the place authors do sexual stuff today.

Speaking of Weekly Young Magazine, Yusuke Utsumi's series there; Jin - Kakutou Haouden has finally started getting scanlated. It's basically just Ultra Battle Satellite, yet with much more extreme content. Not complaining though given I loved Ultra Battle Satellite.

I get what you're trying to say but at the same time I think that only wanting the people who hate-read Nue to complain about it is a bit silly.

I read the oneshots this issue

I really enjoyed Blood Marriage (the main planned oneshot). It's about hunters vs vampires vs werewolves, but the werwolves have propagated so much that the other two groups are teaming up to fight them. It's a Twin Star Exorcists kind of set up where a hunter and a vampire are forcibly married so they can eventually produce a dhampir to fight back the werewolves.

The dynamic between the main duo was really fun with strong personalities and good quirks to them, and we know from Twin Star Exorcists that this kind of premise can be really good. My only complaint is the MC hair is silly, he has a wing-shaped tuft sticking out the top of his head but instead of stylistic, it looks like he just needs to use a comb.

The Kagurabachi emergency replacement oneshot, Kisaragi High School Spirit Photography Club, was okay I suppose. It was only 15 pages but rather than a condensed small story, it felt instead like the first 15 pages of a bigger oneshot since it was basically all set up and explaining the premise.

Do you think the one shots of this year are being better compared to last years Future Jump Project? Sorry for asking. I don't use Twitter nor any social sites unless its reddit here and there.

I don't remember last year's oneshots well enough to compare, but I will say Blood Marriage is my favourite oneshot in a while at least.

Is there any recent axed series or mangaka that you want to see to see in a different magazine (or think the series would have been far more successful in a different magazine)?

That’s difficult to say. I have very limited knowledge, but titles that I thought should have been in Young Jump or Jump+ (if their writing was better), Rin Matsui of Dear Anemone for sure, and currently Akira Inue of Alien Headbutt.
